DELETE

 

Description: This function deletes the user-selected materials from the database.

 

Usage:

 

1.  DSI prompts the user for the name of the target material.

>   SELECT MATERIAL

>   PICK AN ELEM (C), OR MATERIAL NAME (M) OF A MATL

 

2.  The user selects the material to be deleted.  The elements that are assigned with that material turn gray, and DSI prompts:

>   MATERIAL ID X IS SELECTED

•    If the user enters EXIT, DSI deletes the material and changes the color of the part from gray to white.  The white indicates that the part does not have any material properties assigned to it. DSI returns to step 1.
